October 20, 2007|By FROM STAFF REPORTS

Brian Taaffee's 10-yard touchdown pass to Lance Roberts in overtime and Tyler Feeley's ensuing extra point gave the visiting St. Paul's football team a 26-25 victory over Archbishop Spalding last night.

The touchdown came on the first play in overtime for the Crusaders (5-1). They trailed by six points after the Cavaliers scored.

The win created a two-way tie for second between the two teams in the MIAA B Conference and ended the Cavaliers' three-year conference winning streak at 16.

St. Paul's coach Dave Dolch called the game "wild" and said: "It had every bit of weather, from driving rain to sheets of rain and wind."

Dolch's team lost, 14-13, in 2005 to Spalding (5-1) when the Crusaders scored with 35 seconds left but missed the ensuing extra-point attempt.

Colby Roane had nine catches for a 135 yards and a touchdown for St. Paul's, and Chris Wilson had 13 carries for 101 yards.

Spalding scored first in the overtime on Jordan Cohill's 8-yard run for a 25-19 lead but missed the extra point.

Ian Sadon gave Parkville a 6-0 lead on a 63-yard run in the first quarter, but the Indians scored the next 23 points, including Fleming's 41-yard touchdown run in the second quarter that gave Franklin a 7-6 halftime lead.

No. 2 River Hill 41, Atholton 0 -- Zach Martin had 17 carries for a 157 yards and two touchdowns to power the host Hawks (7-0) past the Raiders (4-3). River Hill's defense held Atholton outside its 20-yard line. River Hill's Luke Hosteteler went 4-for-4 for 89 yards and three touchdowns. Michael Campanaro rushed 14 times for 100 yards and had three catches for 69 yards and two touchdowns.
